It's comical reading the referenced post[1]. It sounds identical to the posts I would read some years ago (when it was still Twitter), except it was from the opposite party (although we later found out actual censoring was happening).

I'm a staunch independent, so it's really just fascinating to watch the pendulum swing so hard.

And from a slightly different angle, it's pretty amusing to watch all the people that were shocked that a platform could be so partisan as to consider suppressing a story allegedly involving a foreign power trying to swing an election totally not bothered as Twitter's new CEO runs Trump PACs whilst accounts running Harris fundraisers find themselves mysteriously blocked.

Things I haven't heard on the internet: "I was truly hoping that Musk would bring about free speech and political neutrality so now I'm pretty disappointed at the outcome"...
